Yes, it uses some opensuse resources, but it is a person, not an 
organization. That's why it is under "home". It is not like, for instance, 
"opensuse/repositories/OpenOffice.org%3a/STABLE/openSUSE_10.3/", which is 
maintained by the same people that prepare OO for the main distro.

I have used some "home" repos when indicated as part of the diagnostic 
procedure of a Bugzilla, for instance. When told. In this case, I don't 
have info, so I refrain.
